Miami Airport Runway Overrun

Amazon Cargo Aircraft Overruns Miami Airport Runway and Ends Upside Down on Highway

A Boeing cargo aircraft operated by Amazon, Flight 7598, ran off the runway at Miami International Airport and ended up on a busy roadway, causing a shutdown of the airport and emergency response efforts. The incident, which took place around 2 p.m. on Sunday, is under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the US Coast Guard. The plane had departed from Puerto Rico earlier in the day and was on its way to land in Miami when it overran the runway and damaged nearby infrastructure. The airport was closed immediately following the incident and the FAA placed a temporary hold on all arrivals and departures until the runway could be fully inspected. The aircraft's fuselage showed extensive damage and its engines were smoking heavily, while emergency crews rushed to the scene. The FAA's initial statements stated that there were no confirmed casualties, but they urged people in the area to keep a safe distance as rescue operations continued.
